Nagalim

ALICIA SEMA understood little about the insurgent
movement, even after the Naga rebels came to her school
to recruit comrades. But now sitting on a cliff facing
the immense expanse far below, she listened
with great interest, the virile voice of her school-mate,
KAITO KEVI his fervid description of the movement,
his dreams of a free nation a free Nagalim

Years later, a mystic phone call makes her to wonder,
did she bury her sweetheart Kaitos bullet-ridden body?
Then she had no time to think she had strangled her baby
image, killed her innocence and then gunned down the
responsible army officers.
Drawn up against the backdrop of Naga freedom struggle,
in which, thousands sacrificed their lives, wives became
widows and children became orphans
NAGALIM... the Smoldering slopes !
